Episode Synopsis

Biking Battles with Spandex Warriors The 100 Ride 2025 with Uri KirschnerIn this inspiring and entertaining episode of the None of Your Business Podcast, Michael and Ushy sit down with real estate attorney and community trailblazer Uri Kirschner to uncover the stories behind the suit. From 30 years in law to launching grassroots chesed projects, Uri has mastered the art of doing good—quietly, but with massive impact.Uri shares the story of how a simple conversation sparked the now-famous 100 Ride, a cycling fundraiser that has raised hundreds of thousands for local families in need. He also opens up about his roots in Washington Heights, the rich traditions of the Yekke community, and why carrying on that legacy through chesed, humility, and action is what truly matters.From wild real estate closings (including one while hooked to an IV!) to running boutique second-hand clothing shops out of his home, Uri's life is packed with meaning, motion, and mitzvos. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and you’ll probably want to do more good after listening.To donate or learn more about the 100 Ride, please visit: https://www.the100ride.com00:00 Opening Debate: Taking Sides00:21 Podcast Introduction and Guest Welcome00:53 Getting to Know Uri Kirschner01:15 Yekke Community and Traditions16:18 Uri's Professional Background31:48 The Hundred Ride: Origin and Purpose35:29 Inclusive Sports for Girls35:52 The Hundred Ride: A Community Effort36:50 Challenges and Successes of The Hundred Ride38:13 The Briss Rabbi and Other Riders38:45 Biking Events and Personal Stories42:51 The Importance of Chesed and Tzedakah44:58 Involvement in Hatzalah and Other Organizations48:23 The Cemetery Business54:32 Per Yechiel: Repurposing Tefillin01:02:22 Encouraging Skills and Careers01:07:57 Final Thoughts and ReflectionsSponsored by GEM Enrollments Personalized, employee benefits enrollment solutions tailored to your business and employees - all at no cost!
